2017 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Numerology is any belief in either a divine, mystical or metaphysical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events. It is also the study of the numerical value of the letters in words, names and ideas. It is often associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts. Bell, a well-known mathematician, became interested in numerology during a casual conversation, and wrote this book to answer the following question: "Is there more science in numerology than there is numerology in science? I have given enough on both sides of the question to enable any reader to settle it according to his own liking." Bell-From the Introduction to Numerology.
